St. Joseph’s Health Paramedics featured on CNN!

Paramedics Alex Storzillo and Jim Incorvaia adjust their respirators before entering a house in Paterson, N.J. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the pair has treated each call as a potential source of coronavirus infection.

St. Joseph’s Health’s very own Paramedics Alex Storzillo and Jim Incorvaia were highlighted recently on a CNN special segment that offers a glimpse into their lives during the Coronavirus pandemic. Alex and Jim give us all a look inside as they are among the first on the scene responding to some of Paterson’s most critically ill residents.

We thank everyone who has joined us in support of our COVID-19 Response Fund. Your support of St. Joseph’s Health Foundation allows services like this, and many others, to continue to improve how we deliver care to the greater community of Northern New Jersey.

Philanthropy has always played a significant role in our Mobile ICU response efforts. In 2018, Columbia Bank Foundation provided a grant of $75,000, which helped purchase a state-of-the-art MICU vehicle, featured in the news article. St. Joseph’s MICU first responders deliver advanced life support for medical emergencies throughout our communities.

A special thank you to the entire Mobile ICU team for your ongoing strength and expertise during this challenging time!
